Black Bear. My favorite setup: I make a batch of caramelized onions first. Sauteed in olive oil, tab of butter, splash of white wine to de-glaze the pan, then add some ketchup for sweetness and Tabasco for heat and some fresh finely-chopped marjoram OR sage for additional flavor. Top the dog's with my spicy onions, add some mustard and some relish, and I'm done. I figure all those vegetables make it okay to consume and it sheds the sacrilegious smack of ketchup on a hot dog. Last dog I consumed at a hot dog establishment were some deep-fried 'all-the-way' rippers at Johnny & Hanges in Fair Lawn on Maple Ave. I'm guessing the year was 2002, the event coincided with a youth soccer game in town.

This fits in with my plan, for I wrote NJ off a long time ago. We move in five years. I can stomach the wait, but it will be tortuous.

I will be thankful for small favors. I know that in reality this celebration will be short-lived, because when I look beyond Christie to his successor, what do I see?

Gotcha. Although, where legal, some folks do use FMJ's on furbearers so as to not damage the hide. They're legal to hunt with in NY.

He applied some logic here and I'd like to think all those phone calls were helpful as well.

FMJ's offer substandard performance on game for hunting when compared to soft point or hollowpoint bullets.

Will bring a new reflection on the 450' rule. How soon before this story appears? "A long-time resident living on Shotwell Road in Fredon Township called police in a panic this morning when she looked out her living room window into the Whittingham wildlife management area and saw two men in the WMA parking lot dressed in camouflage, carrying what appeared to be assault rifles, into the woods. Local police and NJSP SWAT were dispatched to the scene only to discover than the two hunters, local residents and brothers, Hiram & Bobby Lee, were out hunting on the first day of coyote season. Mrs. Kravitz, the woman who placed the call, had this to say; "When I saw those guns I got scared. I've never seen hunters carry guns like that here in New Jersey so I figured I better call the police." Actually, I should give the folks on Shotwell Road more credit, most see hunters every day and never say anything.

Susan Kehoe, New Jersey's BEAR activist, breaks up bear fights single-handed. You just have to yell at them.

Yes, the number of models is big. If your intent is for a wood-stocked BDL, they came with a heavy barrel in the "BDL Varmint" model. Calibers were .222, 223, .22-250, .243, 6mm, .25-06, & .308. There may have been other chamberings added. I'm sure you can find one used. These fell out of favor for synthetic-stocked models and the heavy barrel in various calibers as well as stainless steel models.

Border states with NY have become skittish ever since the SAFE Act. It's a shame, and they're setting dangerous precedence. I read an article yesterday where Cuomo's "favorability" rating has bumped back up to 65% among voters in NY, and re-elect possibilities at 55% as of July from a Siena College poll. That's disturbing.

The .csv files were posted a few years ago on a website called whospackingny.com, and they were pretty informative. Anybody could download them. All my friends who are NYPD, DEA or NYSP; their home addresses were listed on there. For some odd reason, this story didn't create much fanfare. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2010/06/robert-farago/whospackingny-com-publishes-list-of-concealed-gu-permit-holders/ There are no exceptions for law enforcement that I'm aware of. Taken from NY Penal Law 400: 5. Filing of approved applications. The application for any license, if granted, shall be filed by the licensing officer with the clerk of the county of issuance, except that in the city of New York and, in the counties of Nassau and Suffolk, the licensing officer shall designate the place of filing in the appropriate division, bureau or unit of the police department thereof, and in the county of Suffolk the county clerk is hereby authorized to transfer all records or applications relating to firearms to the licensing authority of that county. The name and address of any person to whom an application for any license has been granted shall be a public record. Upon application by a licensee who has changed his place of residence such records or applications shall be transferred to the appropriate officer at the licensee's new place of residence. A duplicate copy of such application shall be filed by the licensing officer in the executive department, division of state police, Albany, within ten days after issuance of the license. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to change the expiration date or term of such licenses if otherwise provided for in law.

Luckily my time period hasn't expired, so I still listen to all types of music. I'm not pigeon-holed to any generation when it comes to music. And I am pretty open minded, with one college daughter who plays piano, and her older brother the eldest son who has been playing guitar for twelve years now; so I hear everything that's current in my household. My house would rumble during practice sessions when the electric guitars were cranking Coheed & Cambria covers. Remember too that many of those hip, cool drug users are now professors in colleges teaching young minds, or have served in Senate and House seats, or just may have been/are the POTUS.

I think their lyrics speak for themselves. The times of the 60's were filled with sex, drugs and rock & roll. Along with college sit-in's, war protests, racial divide, feminists, pornography, etc. It wasn't just music. The actions of those movements changed America. Drugs were not invented in the 60's, they just became more mainstream as the cultural divides enabled their counter-cultural acceptance. LSD dates back pre-war, Leary just popularized it. That's quite a comment coming from someone who doesn't know me. Why are some posts on this forum always an attack on someone, not you in particular but it seems the genre with most New Jersey forums? Maybe I'm getting old and I don't understand youth.

Unthinking and dangerous but not illegal. NY Penal Law 400 said that info is public information. Always has been. Twice in two years someone had the nerve to publish it. Once on a website and worse in the Journal News complete with a Google map. That made the stinky stuff hit the fan.

These artists were true musical geniuses. (You missed an awful lot too. Artists that spoke solely with a message like Baez, Seeger, Mitchell, Taylor, Chapin, Stevens, etc.) are still timeless today. You had people who could write and tell a message without resorting to vituperative language in eloquent form, groups that could harmonize, and their music today is still good after more than a half century. It's timeless and ever-enduring. Much of the stuff generated today is mindless, formulaic pablum.

Some of this video has a couple of insights into pop culture and influence on youth and how things are different today (starts around 12:00 min.) and the downside wrought by the progressives. It's long, but a good listen if you are a Bill Whittle fan. Incidentally, this was the summit conference that Chris Christie wasn't invited to. Apparently he wasn't conservative enough. There is a lot of truth and insight in what he says here.

Agreed. .300 Winny in an AR format is an interesting twist.

Accuracy I'm sure can be tweaked, as with any arm. I wouldn't look for a Breitbart sports writer to have the full dope. The .300 Winny Mag. does have a 400 fps advantage over the .308 with most all bullet weights, which is the advantage.

We have property about an hour north of Williamsburg on the Rappahannock River. Beautiful area. I'm not familiar with any shops though. Did you check out the gunsmith shop? Williamsburg's original colonial gunsmith retired some years ago, but you can find Wallace Gusler's videos on YouTube. There is one where he builds a flintlock from scratch. Great to watch. The full video was removed, but there are segments available that are interesting to watch. Some background - http://www.history.org/foundation/journal/Autumn00/gunsmith.cfm

Awesome! Congrats.

I hear you. Phoenix is the sixth most densely populated city in the U.S., and lots of people have guns there.

Well said!

Isn't the Council vote for this next Tuesday?
